ChrisMurraySoulFrequency revitalizes the jazz classic "I Just Dropped By To Say Hello" in their new single from the upcoming album Classics. Supported by his talented band, Soul Frequency, Murray performs a smooth, seductive ballad that takes the audience directly to a dark jazz club, where each note holds meaning in the air.
Taking inspiration from Johnny Hartman's memorable performance, Murray's rendition highlights his unique voice, smooth yet soulful, tender yet powerful. Gabe Preston's rich tenor saxophone and Murray's vocals create an intimate dialogue, gliding effortlessly over the lush instrumentation. The track is completed by Christian Smith on piano, Omeed Nyman on bass, and Jack Thomas on drums, creating the ideal setting for this emotional performance.
"I Just Dropped By To Say Hello" is more than just a cover, it is a complete transformation. Murray and his band honor the song's roots while adding their own distinctive style to it. The outcome is a nostalgic yet fresh smoky jazz ballad that embodies the spirit of traditional jazz while also resonating with present-day audiences.
